Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Irwin (ranked 133 p4p, 401 weight class) and Maxim Jahouli (ranked 21 p4p, 60 weight class). Irwin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is High Plains Drifter - Beastie Boys . Jahouli has chosen Darker Than Blue 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?
