Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Lawson (ranked 1530 p4p, 200 weight class) and Keijo Tapaus (ranked 3751 p4p, 430 weight class). Lawson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wait and Bleed by Slipknot. 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.
