Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaz Hoyt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pedro Mantiega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoyt's entrance music is Dolazak Hrvata. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mantiega's choice of entrance music: Gimme Shelter. 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.
