Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Stan Richard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alaric Visigoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In Ashes They Shall Reap. Visigoth is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by THUNDERSTRUCK. 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.
