Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nino Pagnotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nemean Athos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pagnotto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Very Ape - Nirvana. Athos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thundercats. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boris Balkan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Goncalo Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Balkan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kosovo is Serbia. 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.
