Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Samuel Turbitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Hazlehurst (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turbitt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tool - Schism. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hazlehurst's choice of entrance music: Queen - The Show Must Go On. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
