Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brian Mc Auley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaius Baltar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mc Auley comes to the cage accompanied by August Burns Red - The Eleventh Hour. The crowd seem to be enjoying Baltar's choice of entrance music: Even Flow. Brian Mc Auley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
