Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Brogan (ranked 2094 p4p, 1623 weight class) and Turner Crocop (ranked 261 p4p, 206 weight class). Brogan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Immortal Technique - Open Your Eyes. The crowd seem to be enjoying Crocop's choice of entrance music: Cro Cop. Brogan has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. This should be fireworks!
