Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sarkis Terteryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lisandro Licha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terteryan's entrance music is Röyksopp - The Fear . A fine choice. Licha has chosen In Bloom as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
