Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandr Senichev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Lohgim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Senichev's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lady Gaga - Just Dance. Lohgim has chosen Sobota - Z buta wjeżdżam as his entrance music. 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?
