Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Louis C K (ranked 2046 p4p, 748 weight class) and Atte Savitaipale (ranked 254 p4p, 97 weight class). C K kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Live at Carnegie Hall. Savitaipale is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Roger Whittaker - Finnish Whistler. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Theodore Epicity (ranked 1649 p4p, 897 weight class) and Aydan The Wandering Spirit (ranked 231 p4p, 127 weight class). Epicity's entrance music is Tempest by Deftones. A fine choice. The Wandering Spirit has chosen Wichita Lineman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
