Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Planck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Trager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Planck comes to the cage accompanied by Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Reenactment. Trager has chosen Scarcéus - Não Quero Olhar Pra Trás as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Alex Trager is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
