Two headliners for the event, Neil Magny and Carlos Prates are warriors who couldn’t be more different yet share an indomitable spirit. Magny, the ultimate veteran, is known for his relentless cardio and calculated style. His walkout song, “No Regrets” by Lecrae, mirrors his approach, a fighter who knows his purpose and leaves it all in the cage.
In contrast, Prates is a rising star with dynamite in his fists, and his chosen track, “Purple Lamborghini” by Skrillex & Rick Ross, is as bold and fearless as his fight style. The choice almost feels like a warning to his opponents. ‘The Nightmare’ is here to make a statement and show he’s the new force in the welterweight division!
For the co-main event, Gerald Meerschaert returns to action riding high on a 2-fight win streak. His song of choice for his walkouts? “99 Red Balloons” by Goldfinger, a quirky, almost ironic choice for a cage fight, but it suits his unorthodox approach, hinting at the calm yet calculated chaos he brings to his bouts.

Then there’s Reinier De Ridder, ‘The Dutch Knight’ who will be stepping into the Octagon for the first time. In his time at ONE Championship before the UFC came calling, De Ridder walked out to the cage to “Can’t Be Touched (feat. Mr. Magic & Trouble)” by Roy Jones Jr!
