Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohammed Kahn (ranked 32 p4p, 722 weight class) and Tank Tribute (ranked 5 p4p, 107 weight class). Kahn comes to the cage accompanied by كارتل مدان. Tribute has chosen tank abbot tribute as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tank Tribute was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
