Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Anwar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zander Freyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anwar's entrance music is 1 Thing. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Freyer's choice of entrance music: Milquetoast by Helmet. 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.
