Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Samedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Shebanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Shebanov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Don't worry, be happy. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
