Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ibrahim Cuntmara (ranked 163 p4p, 464 weight class) and Biabas Kitjakarn (ranked 14 p4p, 41 weight class). Cuntmara's entrance music is $$ Hoes mad $$. A fine choice. Kitjakarn has chosen Dancing Drums as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
