Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lukas Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonardo Watch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammer's entrance music is Can't Touch This - Mc Hammer . A fine choice. Watch has chosen Kray Twins-Round One as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
