Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Garry Dupuis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dupuis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Warriors Of Time by Black Tide. McDonald has chosen I Stand Alone as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
