Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abed Nadir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bartholomew Roach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nadir kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is M.A.S.H Theme. Roach has chosen The Simpsons Theme Song as his entrance music. 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.
