Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max The Dragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kipruto Kiprup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Dragon's entrance music is Who's next. A fine choice. Kiprup has chosen oy da ne vecher as his entrance music. Max The Dragon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
