Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vahan Karamyenyan (ranked 3029 p4p, 385 weight class) and Grover Dowiyogo (ranked 7334 p4p, 593 weight class). Karamyenyan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bonecrusher - Saw Theme Remix. Dowiyogo has chosen another life - kano as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Karamyenyan has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Vahan Karamyenyan could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Grover Dowiyogo's chin.
