Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bob Suf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tarkhan Naranbaatar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Naranbaatar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Batzorig Vaanchig kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Bob Suf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
