Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zaid Abdul Karim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Walden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walden has chosen Bas Rutten - El Guapo likes to dance as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
