Fook comes to the cage accompanied by Ladies and Gentlemen. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bekzod's choice of entrance music: "Weird" Al Yankovic - Amish Paradise. 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.
