Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Melhim Abu Shahin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikko Ilmeinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abu Shahin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Desert Rose. Ilmeinen has chosen The Imperial March as his entrance music. Mikko Ilmeinen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
