Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rakhmetov Chernyshevsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jukebox Timebmb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chernyshevsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Sisters of Mercy -- Lucretia. Timebmb has chosen Move On Up as his entrance music. 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.
