Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lorian Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Mclean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Twilight Of The Thunder God. Mclean has chosen Oasis - F**king in the bushes as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
