Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Prathamesh Randhawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sebastian Rynkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Randhawa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dhoom Taana. Rynkowski has chosen Mama Selita - 303 as his entrance music. Prathamesh Randhawa had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.
