Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sarkis Terteryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nyquil Salazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terteryan's entrance music is Smashing Pumpkins-Bullet With Butterfly Wings. A fine choice. Salazar has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sarkis Terteryan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be a great matchup!
