Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pete Granger (ranked 48 p4p, 6 weight class) and Blind Shaman (ranked 170 p4p, 27 weight class). Granger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Ya Strut On - Lord Have Mercy. The crowd seem to be enjoying Shaman's choice of entrance music: Shaman's Dream. 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.
