Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sandor Klegane (ranked 580 p4p, 364 weight class) and Temujin Namkhai (ranked 71 p4p, 47 weight class). Klegane's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hells bells. Namkhai has chosen Batzorig Vaanchig - Mongolian Throat Singing as his entrance music. Sandor Klegane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
