Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vaughn Rader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Itof Meyachev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rader kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Imperial March. Meyachev has chosen Pussy by Rammstein as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
