Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kim Kardashian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bapit Pradchapet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kardashian comes to the cage accompanied by Cold As Ice - MOP. Pradchapet has chosen Wanted Dead or Alive as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
