Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bakar Ben Khalifa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Kicking Pokemon Hitmonlee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ben Khalifa's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Prodigy - Warrior's Dance. Hitmonlee has chosen The Hitmonlee Entrance Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bakar Ben Khalifa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
