Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Anderson (ranked 147 p4p, 387 weight class) and Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 21 p4p, 20 weight class). Anderson comes to the cage accompanied by Can’t be touched . Farrokhzad has chosen Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song) as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
