Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dest Royer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and German Shepherd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Royer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2Г5Р1О7Т - Дым. Shepherd has chosen Bahay Kubo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dest Royer has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
