Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matt Quin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Gennero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quin's entrance music is Captain Jack - Iko Iko. A fine choice. Gennero has chosen Alan Walker - Faded as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
