Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hanz Stokenhizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Hatton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stokenhizer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Lucky Bullets "Cross the Line". Hatton has chosen Blue Moon as his entrance music. Ricky Hatton told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
