Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bekjan Askaraliev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edvard Westerlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Askaraliev's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Yerbolat- Men Kazakhpyn. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
