Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Orlando Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Siouxsie Banshees (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sackett's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kryptonite. Banshees has chosen Cities in Dust as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
