Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Terry Bogard (ranked 2371 p4p, 299 weight class) and Marcus Child (ranked 3182 p4p, 384 weight class). Bogard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Body Head Bangerz - Can’t Be Touched. Child comes into a darkened arena with his song building. VooDoo kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
