Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dan Hedwig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hedwig's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ministry - "N.W.O.". White has chosen "Bring Out Your Dead" by Strung Out as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
