Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sen Nguyen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konrad Borowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nguyen comes to the cage accompanied by "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals. Borowski has chosen AC/DC - Shoot to Thrill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
