Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bob McGrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGrady kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child. Stark comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dance Hall Days kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Johnny Stark 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!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Miro Antauro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antauro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Under a Killing Moon by Thrice. Burns has chosen Speech Cobras as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
