Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dasha Karimov (ranked 26 p4p, 6 weight class) and Edward Stoker (ranked 105 p4p, 12 weight class). Karimov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ACDC - Hells Bells. Stoker has chosen Let There Be Rock by AC/DC as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
