Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zack Skyshriek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolph Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Skyshriek might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Moonlight Sonata. Fredriksson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Iron maiden - fear of the dark kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dolph Fredriksson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
