Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beasty Kannegaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ridda. Kannegaard has chosen Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become as his entrance music. 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.
