Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Corbin Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lil Tulip (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murphy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm Shipping Up To Boston. Tulip has chosen Back Up In Yo Ass With The Resurrection as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
