Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Khalifman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roid Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khalifman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ringo Mogire Beam! (ZSZS OVA2 Ver.). Mayweather has chosen A.U. as his entrance music. 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.
