Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Kahn (ranked 18 p4p, 10 weight class) and Valentin Taneyev (ranked 5 p4p, 3 weight class). Kahn comes to the cage accompanied by كارتل مدان. 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.
