Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mick Taylor (ranked 2582 p4p, 25221 weight class) and Mikheil Berishvili (ranked 159 p4p, 297 weight class). Taylor's entrance music is Better Get A Lawyer. A fine choice. Berishvili has chosen Acharuli Gandagana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mick Taylor has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
