Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jack Nigal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arturo Caldeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nigal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cannibal Corpse - Death Walking Terror. Caldeira has chosen baby (remix) as his entrance music. Arturo Caldeira will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
