Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nakamora Yenseki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wardor Warlovski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yenseki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sick Puppies-Youre going down. Warlovski has chosen My Body is a Cage as his entrance music. Wardor Warlovski is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
