Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Grin Ribber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ribber's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ay Ay Ay. Hopkins has chosen Manny Pacquiao - Lalaban Ako as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
