Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tor Nansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kale Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nansen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Prodigy - Thunder. Cruz has chosen Welcome to the Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
