Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Paltiguera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jaan Jalgratas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paltiguera kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman. 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.
