Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Issumatar Tariaksuq (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tariaksuq's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tanya Tagaq - Uja. Carter has chosen Jazz Cartier - New Religion as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
