Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Project Doom (ranked 306 p4p, 45 weight class) and Elmer Fudd (ranked 1266 p4p, 166 weight class). Doom kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battle Beast - Touch in the Night. Fudd has chosen Blue On Black as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
