Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Wuzz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wuzz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lützenkirchen - German Kiss. Power has chosen X gonna give it to ya - DMX as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
