Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Turbo Epicity (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Novoselic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Epicity's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Semi Charmed Life. Novoselic is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here - Alice in Chains. 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.
