Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pat Joplin (ranked 429 p4p, 638 weight class) and Lemmy Bang (ranked 54 p4p, 79 weight class). Joplin's entrance music is Janis Joplin - Cry Baby. A fine choice. Bang has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! 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.
