Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Rajkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Candy Paint. Rajkovic has chosen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
