Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Project Alpha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Rook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alpha kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sub Focus - Rock It. Rook has chosen Mr Krinkle as his entrance music. 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.
