Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Boxing Mcsparr (ranked 2128 p4p, 1915 weight class) and Sean Dickinson (ranked 298 p4p, 269 weight class). Mcsparr's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Hell's Bells. Dickinson has chosen Resurrection - Chris Travis as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
