Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bernz Gilas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Trzcinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gilas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Remember The Name - Fort Minor. Trzcinski has chosen Ice Cube - Do Ya Thang as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bernz Gilas could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Daniel Trzcinski's chin.
