Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Locke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antiq Roadshow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Locke's entrance music is Star Wars - Imperial March. A fine choice. Roadshow is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by roadshow theme. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
