Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matt Quin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ed Gennero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quin comes into the arena with Captain Jack - Iko Iko blaring out of the sound system. Gennero has chosen Alan Walker - Faded as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
