Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy's entrance music is Bad to The Bone. A fine choice. Binzo comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hair of the Dog by Nazareth kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Larkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Pinta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larkin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Pinta comes into a darkened arena with his song building. God Is an Astronaut - All Is Violent, All Is Bright kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
