Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Francesco Luongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shamus O Hooligan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luongo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alexisonfire - The Northern. O Hooligan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Shipping out to Boston - Dropkick Murphy. Shamus O Hooligan 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!
