Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Stephan Axe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cold Cat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Axe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is My Hero - Foo Fighters. Cat has chosen Dont stop the party by Pitbull 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.
