Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Varz Defoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimas Boykiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Defoe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bodies. Boykiy has chosen Перемен as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
