Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pierre St. Georges (ranked 152 p4p, 15 weight class) and Rian MacFarlane (ranked 2216 p4p, 196 weight class). St. Georges kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu Jitsu. MacFarlane is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Foggy Dew. 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.
