Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xander Boudewijn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maksim Nikifor (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. Nikifor has chosen Enae Volare Mezzo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Cameron Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harjan Varsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Murray might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Big Strong Bosss by SWANS. Varsi has chosen Hiski Salomaa - Tiskarin polkka as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
