Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bray Wyatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troc kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dr. Octagon - Real Raw. Wyatt has chosen We're Here 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.
