Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Javon Jefferson (ranked 2127 p4p, 1807 weight class) and Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov (ranked 247 p4p, 212 weight class). Jefferson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zoey Dollaz - It's Ok (feat. A Boogie wit da Hoodie). Nurmagomedov has chosen Лезгинка as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
