Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Osama Obama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denis Severnov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Obama kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ariaban Nights. Severnov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Denis Severnov enters the cage!
