Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taj al Din (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Manoel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). al Din kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is قنب هندي. Manoel has chosen Hino do Flamengo as his entrance music. 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.
