Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royston De Noteboom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Starim Stal Overdreem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Noteboom kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rotting Christ - Snowing Still. Overdreem has chosen Motorhead-Iron Fist as his entrance music. 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.
