Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Noeigati (ranked 746 p4p, 1242 weight class) and Nathan Fedorov (ranked 110 p4p, 174 weight class). Noeigati's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cremation of Sam McGee. Fedorov has chosen Miyagi & Ðндшпиль feat. Рем Дигга - I Got Love as his entrance music. 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.
