Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nem Sis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grey Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tsunami. 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.
