Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sativa Sensei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jurmas Uusisto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sensei kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stevie Ray - Pride and Joy. Uusisto has chosen System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B. as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
