Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Nurse by Glassjaw. Rogers has chosen "Black and Yellow" - Wiz Khalifa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
