Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Richard Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roll Fizzlebeef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawkins comes into the arena with Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck blaring out of the sound system. Fizzlebeef has chosen Tech N9ne - I'm a Playa 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.

Binzo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. Larkin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Binzo Binzo is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
