Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ed Gennero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Piotr Rokicki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gennero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alan Walker - Faded. Rokicki has chosen Survivor - Eye of the Tiger as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
