Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Semmy Kasteel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geoffery Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kasteel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Celtic Music. Reynolds has chosen Mortal Kombat as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
