Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Khalidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carter's entrance music is Run this Town. A fine choice. Khalidov has chosen Punks Jump Up To Get Beatdown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shawn Carter has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
