Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Fatty Arbuckle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustav Fischer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arbuckle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dr. Dre - Still Dre. Fischer has chosen Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch 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.
