Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Szyslak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Dusavik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Szyslak kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica-Enter Sandman. Dusavik has chosen The Lucky Bullets "Cross The Line" 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.
