Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Linkavitch Chomofsky (ranked 780 p4p, 352 weight class) and Tagnarach Kamara (ranked 103 p4p, 46 weight class). Chomofsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mastodon - Sleeping Giant. This should be a great matchup!
