Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Magne NehmEnglund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Poppin Thangs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). NehmEnglund's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Y´all want a single - Korn. Thangs has chosen Poppin Them Thangs as his entrance music. 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.
