Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Savinay Pillavino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pillavino's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tere Bina. Williams has chosen Robot Rock-Daft Punk as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
