Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Warren Fitzgerald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roland Petrojevic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fitzgerald kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is And Now We Dance - The Vandals. Petrojevic has chosen "Sultans Of Satan" by Kvelertak as his entrance music. Warren Fitzgerald has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
