Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Donar Gunvaldsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Tracey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunvaldsson comes to the cage accompanied by Pornstep - Dodge & Fuski. Tracey has chosen Metallica - Seek & Destroy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
