Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xafan Kong (ranked 557 p4p, 85 weight class) and Yun Won Hyang (ranked 579 p4p, 91 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Demon's Theme. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
