Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shinichi Onizuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oisin O Conghaile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Onizuka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Nate Dogg - First We Pray. O Conghaile has chosen The Deer's Cry by Angelina as his entrance music. 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?
