Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jan Dudek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tweedle Dee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dudek kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ASTRAL PROJECTION - Mahadeva . Dee has chosen Chumbawamba - Tubthumping as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
