Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ivan ORourke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Tracy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tracy is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by You Can Kiss My Irish Arse. 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.
