Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Koh Ibu (ranked 124 p4p, 5 weight class) and Mads Nordskov (ranked 98 p4p, 4 weight class). Ibu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is B DASH - WATER POW. Nordskov has chosen Fugle as his entrance music. 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.
