Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Maximus Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrei Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kanye West - Power. The crowd seem to be enjoying Emelianenko's choice of entrance music: You are the best around. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahmoud Denjat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Egyptian's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Egyptian Entrance Song. Denjat has chosen U.S.A. National Anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
