Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kato Maluga (ranked 1970 p4p, 1986 weight class) and Mike Putin (ranked 238 p4p, 240 weight class). Maluga's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, IN MY CITY. Putin has chosen CATHARSIS as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
