Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jyn Karinzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aldo Raine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Karinzo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BLUNT - Self Medicated. The crowd seem to be enjoying Raine's choice of entrance music: Slaughter - Billy Preston. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
