Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dmitry Nagiev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tham Boon Yodsuwan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nagiev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dmitry Nagiev - All I Promised. Yodsuwan has chosen LL Cool J - Mama' Said Knock You Out as his entrance music. 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.
