Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefan Pozsgai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Everclear - The BOYs are back in town. Pozsgai has chosen PC Park - Klatka as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
