Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Inc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thin Lizzy - Angel of Death. Inc has chosen Bad Moon Rising as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
