Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between George Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Basil Lundeby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hill kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kiss - Detroit Rock City. Lundeby has chosen Casino Royal 007 Theme as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
