Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Prathamesh Randhawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodgers Owen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Randhawa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shelter - Message of the Bhagavat. 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?
