Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dusko Casic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russian Experiment III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Casic comes into the arena with Debauchery - Blood For The Blood God blaring out of the sound system. Experiment III has chosen Come To Daddy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
