Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Grand Magus - Hammer of the North. The crowd seem to be enjoying Binzo's choice of entrance music: Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carl Panzram (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mahmoud Denjat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Denjat is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: U.S.A. National Anthem. 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.
