Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harry Sachz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mor Onfollow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sachz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Storstadsidyll by Petter. 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.
