Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rob Tracey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuai Liang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tracey's entrance music is Metallica - Seek & Destroy. A fine choice. Liang has chosen So Cold by Breaking Benjamin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kuai Liang has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
