Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lutz Kilian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Inc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kilian comes to the cage accompanied by Post Break-up Sex. Inc has chosen Bad Moon Rising 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.
