Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Auron Almasy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Almasy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ram Jam - Black Betty. Gracie has chosen Warning 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 cage.
