Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Fardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buddie Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fardy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Smack My Bitch Up. Rivera has chosen My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
