Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paddy Mcgillicutty (ranked 412 p4p, 438 weight class) and Gemellus Axius (ranked 21 p4p, 25 weight class). Mcgillicutty's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Armin van Buuren - Blahblahblah. Axius comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Off The Grid - Kanye West kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
