Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cory McDonnell (ranked 720 p4p, 725 weight class) and Gustav Line (ranked 105 p4p, 106 weight class). McDonnell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra. Line has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
