Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Pedro (ranked 136 p4p, 22 weight class) and Stan Judea (ranked 155 p4p, 27 weight class). Judea is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I want to be a woman - Monty Python. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
