Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alan Blaver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is Rusty Cage. A fine choice. Blaver has chosen AC/DC's Hells Bells as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
