Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cluk Cloo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy McCranky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mali Young Masters: Djembe World Drum 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.
