Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Heribert Bosch (ranked 818 p4p, 127 weight class) and Marco Alvado (ranked 429 p4p, 65 weight class). Bosch's entrance music is Oktoberfest. A fine choice. Alvado has chosen Ichense Dub as his entrance music. 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.
