Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe McLennan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kurita Kanazawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McLennan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Irish Rover - The Pogues. Kanazawa has chosen Yoshu Fukushu - Maximum the Hormone as his entrance music. Joe McLennan has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
