Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Cliff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unai Arana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cliff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is JAMROCK. Arana has chosen NoMeansNo - Beat on the Brat as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
