Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Custer (ranked 415 p4p, 439 weight class) and Peguero Jean Philippe (ranked 66 p4p, 68 weight class). Custer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Zebrahead - Falling Apart. Philippe has chosen Chant vaudou haitien as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
