Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pentti Pentele (ranked 116 p4p, 17 weight class) and Tud Stoddler (ranked 115 p4p, 16 weight class). Pentele kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dreams of Retribution. Stoddler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Arcade Fire - Ready to Start. 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.
