Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ian McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Owen Milli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Phantoms - Into the Darkness. Milli has chosen Show Me Something Different as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ian McCall has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
