Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bonerz McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aharon Sarkisyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sarkisyan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ara Gevorgyan - Artsakh. 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.
