Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Victor Darwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrej Sharko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Darwin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're Going Down - Sick Puppies. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
