Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mona Rudao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyril Yamoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rudao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rebel Yell. Yamoth has chosen Enter Sandman - Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
