Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Phillip Barron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aegaeon Hecatonchires (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barron kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers. Hecatonchires has chosen Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
