Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Prado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timofey Boyko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prado comes to the cage accompanied by Remember The Name. Boyko is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kamaedzitca - Колазварl. 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.
