Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dutch Dream (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allowin Baaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dream comes to the cage accompanied by NO doktor . Baaf has chosen 'Wild Boys' by Duran Duran as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
