Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Dowling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dowling kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ozzy Osbourne: Bark At The Moon. Lynch has chosen The Doors-Break on through as his entrance music. Tim Lynch is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
