Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Travis Bickle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Indigo Starseed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bickle comes to the cage accompanied by Edu Kehäkettunen & Stig Dogg - Kullii . Starseed has chosen Bass Nectar- Take You Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
