Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Litran Kossu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Gillis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kossu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Holy Diver - Dio. Gillis has chosen I Don't Feel Like Dancing - Scissor Sisters as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
