Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jerry Millen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Millen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Punch You in the Eye. Stark has chosen Cmon Feel The Noise as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Thomas Stark is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
