Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Russel Ebert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elix Skipper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ebert kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mean Street - Van Halen. 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.
