Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zhovhar Kurmagomedov (ranked 5959 p4p, 519 weight class) and Michel James Vanderbilt (ranked 25217 p4p, 595 weight class). Kurmagomedov comes to the cage accompanied by Ay Lazzat - Folk Song. Vanderbilt has chosen Bad Moon Rising : Creedence Clearwater Revival as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
