Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Aschenbreaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Will James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aschenbreaker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Feuer Frei. James has chosen Texas Get Up By Downsiid as his entrance music. 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?
