Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Crayzle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Campbell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Steel Panther - Party all Day. Crayzle has chosen Dropkick Murphys - Johnny I hardly knew ya as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
