Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Math Prush (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Boom's choice of entrance music: Fedor Entrance Song. 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.
