Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scot Goodbarrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ice Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goodbarrel comes to the cage accompanied by Deliver. Man has chosen Heroes 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.
