Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritz Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adilbek Tumenbayev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bennett kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is W.A.S.P - Torture never stops. 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.
