Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scott Murley (ranked 1411 p4p, 201 weight class) and Ture Torped (ranked 870 p4p, 125 weight class). Murley comes to the cage accompanied by Rage Against The Machine | Bulls On Parade. Torped is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Das boot - Movie soundtrack.
