Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Aleksander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Heidegger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aleksander kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Backbone - Gojira. Heidegger has chosen Heartbeats 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.
