Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Razmig Grigorian (ranked 2998 p4p, 331 weight class) and Michael Bobeth (ranked 3806 p4p, 393 weight class). Grigorian's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh. 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.
