Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Claude LaCroix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Coby Skrilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LaCroix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sash - Encore Une Fois. Skrilla has chosen C.$krilla ft. AEV & DVD - Streets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Coby Skrilla has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
