Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Desjardins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomasz Szczerek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

The crowd seem to be enjoying Szczerek's choice of entrance music: Sobota feat. chór Montu - Do góry łeb. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
