Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nic Ola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ola comes into the arena with Disorder by Ice T&Slayer blaring out of the sound system. McCall has chosen Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies 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.
