Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russ Rutger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cian McGarrity (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rutger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hall & Oates - Out of Touch. McGarrity is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Irish Fighting Song - We Come in Pieces. 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.
