Co-main event

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ronald McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wes Barton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDonald's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I got a feeling - Black Eyed Peas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Barton's choice of entrance music: Linchpin. 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.
