Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Boris Bulletzowich (ranked 515 p4p, 2755 weight class) and Aloysius Wiremu (ranked 62 p4p, 364 weight class). Bulletzowich kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is THUNDERCAT - THEM CHANGES. Wiremu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Billy Joel - The River of Dreams. 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.
