Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bubbles Ticklepants (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rusty Trombone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ticklepants's entrance music is Links 2,3,4. A fine choice. Trombone has chosen Back in Black by AC/DC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
