Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Goran Spaten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Nutzack Jnr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spaten kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Knockin Boots by Candyman. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nutzack Jnr's choice of entrance music: Scream and Shoot the metal version. 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.
