Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Volya Nikolaev (ranked 126 p4p, 20 weight class) and Spawn Diego (ranked 270 p4p, 32 weight class). Nikolaev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fever . Diego has chosen Turn it up(Shine On) Chamillionaire 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.
