Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snuka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Superfly by Curtis Mayfield. Williams has chosen Kenny Loggins - I'm free as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
