Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between How Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malietoa Feti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Long's entrance music is The Anthem by Onra. A fine choice. Feti has chosen Testament - All I Could Bleed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Malietoa Feti has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
