Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Audley Barristan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddy Neuhardt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barristan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Round the (Yoshi) Twist. Neuhardt has chosen Street Fighter II Ryu Theme Original 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.
