Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Duscaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lay Pray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duscaw's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "I am the Walrus" by The Beatles. Pray has chosen Don't Fear the Reaper- Blue Oyster Cult as his entrance music.
