Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between David Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson comes to the cage accompanied by Oasis - Fuckin' In The Bushes. Holmes has chosen SBB - Memento z banalnym tryptykiem 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.

I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?'.
