Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nicodemo Romero (ranked 1775 p4p, 196 weight class) and Oscar Boma (ranked 1912 p4p, 210 weight class). Romero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lords Of Salem . Boma has chosen Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanly Williams (ranked 649 p4p, 103 weight class) and Adrik Vasilev (ranked 669 p4p, 108 weight class). Williams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenny Loggins - I'm free. Vasilev comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Mr. Probz - Waves (Robin Schulz Remix Radio Edit) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerbert Bryant (ranked 2 p4p, 1 weight class) and Arthur Curry (ranked 59 p4p, 2 weight class). Bryant kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I just wanna. Curry has chosen Molly Malone - The Dubliners as his entrance music. Gerbert Bryant has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
