Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Finn Balor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Deurell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Balor's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Monster. Deurell has chosen Africa 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.
