Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Averyanov (ranked 1985 p4p, 3319 weight class) and Lorenzo Bianchi (ranked 265 p4p, 430 weight class). Averyanov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drago's Entrance Theme. Bianchi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Frank Sinatra - Bim Bam Baby. 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.
