Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juan Sebastian Domingo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Silvain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sebastian Domingo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Angel Doze - Agitala. Silvain has chosen Steen1 - Pyhtään Viikatemies iski jälleen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Juan Sebastian Domingo has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
