Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Sturd Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troy Lancaster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sturd Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Waka Flocka Flame - 50K (Neon Dreams Remix). Lancaster has chosen The Stag Pub Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
