Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between David Nuclear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Umberto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nuclear comes into the arena with Nuclear Assault - Critical Mass blaring out of the sound system. Umberto has chosen Perry Como - Magic Moments as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
