Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Olivier Dujardin (ranked 801 p4p, 2653 weight class) and Anthony Ruiz (ranked 113 p4p, 342 weight class). Dujardin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sosa by Leto & Guy2bezbar. Ruiz has chosen DB7 - Squid Game Drill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
