Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yef Yew (ranked 1657 p4p, 1241 weight class) and Vladimir Tarlac (ranked 261 p4p, 185 weight class). Tarlac has chosen Nobody Knows- The Tony RIch Project as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
