Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keast Gaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Garrett Sheeks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gaard comes to the cage accompanied by Otto Brandenburg - Når en Sailor Går i Land. Sheeks is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Heman "What makes A man". Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
