Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hans Edgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Oliveira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Edgar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Go To Sleep. Oliveira has chosen Daddy Yankee - La Gata as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
