Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bill Hilly (ranked 170 p4p, 431 weight class) and Rohith Sharma (ranked 28 p4p, 64 weight class). Hilly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gary Moore - Whiskey in the Jar (Tribute to Phil Lynott) [HQ] [9/10]. Rohith Sharma told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
