Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konstantin Manison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, frenzal rhomb - Mum changed the locks. The crowd seem to be enjoying Manison's choice of entrance music: Wherever I May Roam. Joe Smith has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
