Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kwame Shikongo (ranked 2744 p4p, 4838 weight class) and Ibrahim Nurzhan (ranked 305 p4p, 448 weight class). Nurzhan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kazakh Disco Dance. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
