Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Connor MacLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Hedwig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacLeod's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Machine Gun by Noisia. Hedwig is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ministry - "N.W.O.". Dan Hedwig has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
