Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marshall Noir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cole River (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Noir kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pride. River has chosen Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born On The Bayou as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
