Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thorvald Nansen (ranked 2301 p4p, 2532 weight class) and Dick Niaz (ranked 283 p4p, 304 weight class). Nansen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Benny Jamz - Torden. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
