Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Borowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Carmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carmen has chosen Sinéad O'Connor - The Foggy Dew as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shane Carmen is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
