Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maxim Jahouli (ranked 113 p4p, 60 weight class) and Bill Cosby (ranked 18 p4p, 12 weight class). Jahouli's entrance music is Darker Than Blue. A fine choice. Maxim Jahouli had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
