Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Eagle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baker has chosen Eye of the Tiger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Stephen Eagle looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
