Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexandre Nieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arjen Franck Robbery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nieto's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bullet the Blue Sky. Robbery has chosen Sirenia - Lost in Life as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
