Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dylan McKay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Stumpp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKay comes into the arena with Land Down Under blaring out of the sound system. Stumpp comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Macabre - Werewolf Of Bedburg kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Peter Stumpp is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
