Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Mannetosen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyko comes into the arena with Kamaedzitca - Колазварl blaring out of the sound system. Mannetosen is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Krav. 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.
