Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Osman Asgarov (ranked 4662 p4p, 3566 weight class) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (ranked 376 p4p, 325 weight class). Asgarov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Karabakh - Azerbaijan. Nurmagomedov has chosen Face the Pain as his entrance music. Khabib Nurmagomedov told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
