Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alla Pugacheva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and O Sagat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pugacheva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alla Pugacheva - osenny pocelyi. Sagat is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bloodsport Soundtrack - Fight to Survive. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pentti Hilkuri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Kvasov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kvasov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Diskoteka avaria-Nebo kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
