Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Makosa Michinoku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Tsehov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michinoku kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tsehov's choice of entrance music: Ivan Rebroff - Cossack Patrol. Makosa Michinoku has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
