Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Cluk Cloo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Kilgore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cloo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Mali Young Masters: Djembe World Drum Music. Kilgore has chosen "Providence" - Heal These Wounds as his entrance music. Ivan Kilgore 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!
