Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rigel Ko Nachi (ranked 2058 p4p, 245 weight class) and Abdul Rahman (ranked 1124 p4p, 144 weight class). Ko Nachi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sitting In Limbo. 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.
