Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Punchy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Maudsley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Punchy comes to the cage accompanied by Trent From Punchy. Maudsley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Irigy HónaljMirigy - Irigy Oszkármirigy (Titanic song parody in Hungarian). 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.
