Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Parsons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parsons kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Call Me The Breeze. 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.
