Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xander Boudewijn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Petr Vondrachek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boudewijn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Streets - Blinded by the Lights. 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.
