Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Luzhin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Pasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luzhin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enae Volare Mezzo by Era.
