Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mitchell Monroe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikolai Radev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monroe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Am I A Psycho - Tech N9ne feat. B.O.B. & Hopsin. Nikolai Radev is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
