Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Andre Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Sliva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is icky thump. Matt Sliva will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
