Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Berkeley Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ingemar Anders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Joker. Anders comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gods Son kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
