Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Serge Spectre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksander Kawulski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spectre comes into the arena with For Heavy Metal we will die! blaring out of the sound system. Kawulski is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: DMX - Slippin'. 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.
