Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Burt Guth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Red Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guth kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alva Noto - Module 7. Wolf has chosen Shawnee Sioux War Dance as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
