Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dougal McCraken (ranked 228 p4p, 358 weight class) and Narek Sirakanian (ranked 37 p4p, 53 weight class). McCraken kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bulgine. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
