Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Conan Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomes's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Juelz Santana - Murda Murda. Conan Jones told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
