Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Donovan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donovan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Korpiklaani - Beer Beer. Simpson has chosen Last of the Mohicans Theme 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.
