Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Perseus Danae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Krueger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Danae comes to the cage accompanied by Labyrinth - Thunder. Krueger has chosen Freddy's Coming For You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
