Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jon Snow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Nazarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snow's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, winters coming. Nazarov has chosen "Fade to Black" by Metallica as his entrance music. Vadim Nazarov is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
