Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cody Easton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Easton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tech N9ne The Beast (Uncensored) . White has chosen Roy Jones - Can't be touched as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eric White told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
