Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joe Stalin (ranked 24987 p4p, 359 weight class) and Mark Montoya (ranked 9136 p4p, 325 weight class). Stalin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is USSR. Montoya has chosen Beast by Rob Bailey 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.
