Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mamed Khalidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kieron King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khalidov comes into the arena with Gigi D' Agostino- Blablabla blaring out of the sound system. King has chosen Men at Work - Land Down Under 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.
