Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dragon Dagger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oskar Schindler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dagger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beow. Schindler has chosen Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man as his entrance music. Dagger is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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.
