Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Reigle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keast Gaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reigle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, So Common So Cheap. Gaard has chosen Otto Brandenburg - Når en Sailor Går i Land as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
