Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Smith (ranked 2322 p4p, 305 weight class) and Christian Volland (ranked 2975 p4p, 383 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Therion - Sitra Ahra. 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.
