Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chang Thong Song (ranked 1369 p4p, 162 weight class) and Jack Douglas (ranked 1277 p4p, 150 weight class). Douglas has chosen Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell as his entrance music. Chang Thong Song looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
