Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Andy Rothschild (ranked 861 p4p, 130 weight class) and Jack Merel (ranked 1649 p4p, 235 weight class). Rothschild kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Iron Maiden- Wrathchild. Merel has chosen Laura Tesoro - Higher as his entrance music. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
