Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sparky Anderson (ranked 300 p4p, 657 weight class) and Seamus O Brien (ranked 37 p4p, 90 weight class). Anderson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pick up man. O Brien comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill 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.
