Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Negreanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Thunstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Negreanu's entrance music is Make Her Say - Kid Cudi. A fine choice. Thunstrom comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Prodigy - Spitfire 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.
