Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kameron Sweeney (ranked 2564 p4p, 881 weight class) and Zaurbek Temirbekovich (ranked 286 p4p, 114 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
