Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saurabh Pandeya (ranked 689 p4p, 315 weight class) and Black Leben (ranked 97 p4p, 48 weight class). Pandeya comes to the cage accompanied by Clan In Da Front. Leben has chosen Wynona's Big Brown Beaver as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
