Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sven Larsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Tosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Puscifer - Conditions of My Parole . Tosh has chosen Stepping Razor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sven Larsson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
