Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sluggo Brott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Binzo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. 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.
