Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dino Ebedi (ranked 1772 p4p, 1013 weight class) and Luke Skywalker (ranked 206 p4p, 130 weight class). Ebedi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC - Thunderstruck . The crowd seem to be enjoying Skywalker's choice of entrance music: Skywalker Theme. Luke Skywalker is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
