Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Franz Ritter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lincoln Hawks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ritter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is All Along The Watchtower. Hawks is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by over the top. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lincoln Hawks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
