Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brick Tamland (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Ottosson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tamland comes into the arena with Afternoon Delight blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ottosson's choice of entrance music: Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best. 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.
