Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike McGuire (ranked 421 p4p, 63 weight class) and Stres Fleshou (ranked 314 p4p, 43 weight class). McGuire's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll And Hyde. Fleshou has chosen FOK JULLE NAAIERS - Die Antwoord as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
