Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henry Dustfinger (ranked 190 p4p, 83 weight class) and Harrison Kiely (ranked 13 p4p, 8 weight class). Dustfinger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Bull Rider- Johnny Cash. Kiely has chosen Swan Song as his entrance music. 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.
