Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Boxing Comte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hoyt Jurgensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Comte's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Laser life by Blood Brothers. Jurgensen has chosen Peter, Paul & Mary - If I Had A Hammer as his entrance music. Hoyt Jurgensen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
