Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rustam Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chief Tappenahomma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kersikov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ЦельРазгроl. Tappenahomma has chosen Tatanka 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.
