Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Shaffer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikita Smoldarev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shaffer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Midnight At The Oasis by Maria Muldaur. 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.
