Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roman Strugalsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackie Can (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Strugalsky's entrance music is Underbiz- Nakalyaet. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Can's choice of entrance music: Don't cross his path when he's drunk!. 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.
