Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Noam Chomsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Twister (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chomsky's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, System Of A Down BYOB. 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.
