Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Stigu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Vladimirov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stigu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sabrina-Boys. Vladimirov has chosen Pelageya & Darya Moroz - Walking through a field with a horse 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.
