Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Bourque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and J Walter Weatherman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bourque's entrance music is "Business Time" by Flight of the Conchords. A fine choice. 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.
