Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derya Sevket (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Irwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sevket kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In the Club. Irwin has chosen The Outsider as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joe Irwin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
