Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Malakai Semerkhet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Panikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Semerkhet's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, راقصة صغيرة. Panikov has chosen Fighters as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
