Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robledo Puch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eugeniy Akulenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puch's entrance music is I Am The Killer Of Trolls. A fine choice. Akulenko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cowboys From Hell. 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.
