Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Tracy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Doby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tracy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You Can Kiss My Irish Arse. Doby has chosen International Players Anthem 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.
