Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimentiy Boykin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams's entrance music is UFC: Closer to the Edge (Jared Leto). A fine choice. Boykin has chosen Пересмотри as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
