Main event

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Emile Sauvage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and redheaded Step Child (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sauvage kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chaos Is Me by Orchid. Step Child has chosen Ginger Sex as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
