Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danyaal Zahedi (ranked 481 p4p, 599 weight class) and Shane Lancaster (ranked 63 p4p, 75 weight class). Lancaster has chosen Slipknot - I Am Hated as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
