Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Clark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zander McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clark's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, All Fired Up. McGuire has chosen Hall of Fame ft. will.i.am 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?
