Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Clegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chingis Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clegg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Il mercenario L'arena by Ennio Morricone. Chan has chosen You Can't Bring Me Down by Suicidal Tendencies as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
