Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edern Ap Nudd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ap Nudd kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lift me up. Ortiz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cisco Kid. 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.
