Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksander Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mookie Blaylock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivanov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Step Into A World (Rapture's Delight). 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.
