Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pat Joplin (ranked 315 p4p, 357 weight class) and James Hackett (ranked 40 p4p, 45 weight class). Joplin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Janis Joplin - Cry Baby. Hackett has chosen Foe Tha Love of Money as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
