Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Humphrey Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tetsuya Shiroo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is T.I.A - K'NAAN. Shiroo has chosen The Gazette / Filth In The Beauty as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
