Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rung Thrym (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Webb Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thrym kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Rains of Castamere. Jimmy Webb Jr told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
