Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Lindel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergei Ivanovits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lindel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best . Ivanovits has chosen The Odorants - This Night as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
