Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sludge Guts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davey Newsome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guts's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Newsome has chosen Hurt as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Davey Newsome is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
