Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Lawson (ranked 1347 p4p, 183 weight class) and Finnish Experiment lV (ranked 747 p4p, 99 weight class). Lawson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wait and Bleed by Slipknot. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
