Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Butler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rudi Guns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Butler comes into the arena with Fuck You blaring out of the sound system. Guns is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: diamonds and guns. 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.
