Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rutger Van Dijk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Radebach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Dijk kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Notorius B.I.G - Hypnotize. Radebach has chosen Kill You by Eminem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Matt Radebach will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
