Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Le Petit Criss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crash by 12 Stones. The crowd seem to be enjoying Criss's choice of entrance music: La danse des canards. 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.
