Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Helmut Doerner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Dellaria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doerner kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Balls to the Wall by Accept. Dellaria is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Metal Gods by JUDAS PRIEST. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
