A fine choice. Quik comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Zro ft. Devin the Dude - Hit'em with the Mule (Ratatatat Remix) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexandr Suvorov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Havvik Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suvorov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is World in Conflict - Polyushko-Pole.. Brown has chosen UGK - Murder as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
