Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Cahill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Grand Magus - Hammer of the North. Cahill has chosen Bringing it Back as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
