Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ed Swirly (ranked 5062 p4p, 25103 weight class) and Alex Pereira (ranked 461 p4p, 497 weight class). Swirly comes to the cage accompanied by The sound of goats screaming. Pereira has chosen Itsári - Sepultura as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
