Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Blaylock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Vengrio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blaylock kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Head Like a Hole. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vengrio's choice of entrance music: Muay Thai. 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.
