Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo Kipyatkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandr Senichev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Senichev is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lady Gaga - Just Dance. Aleksandr Senichev struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
