Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alysian Karalis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Trager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karalis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Drunkship Of Lanterns by The Mars Volta. Trager has chosen Scarcéus - Năo Quero Olhar Pra Trás as his entrance music. Alex Trager is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
