Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vyacheslav Sentyurin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Florian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Florian is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Dean Martin - Ain´t that a kick in the head. 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.
