Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Costanza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ting Yan Wang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Costanza kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Do the Opposite. Wang has chosen Minority - Green Day 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.
