Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roland Deschain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deschain comes to the cage accompanied by Giving In-- As made famous by Adema. O Conghaile is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Deer's Cry by Angelina. 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.
