Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Burkshire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Serge Savard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burkshire's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, It's a Fight - Three 6 Mafia. Savard is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Voivod- Tribal convictions. 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.
