Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Anichebe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lynch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wild Thing. Anichebe has chosen Give me hope as his entrance 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.
