Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Henson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lauri Torni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henson comes into the arena with Hit the Lights by Metallica blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Torni's choice of entrance music: Gallowbraid - Ashen Eidolon. 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.
