Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between MIKE TYSON (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murphy McGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). TYSON's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, FUCKING KNOCK YOU OUT. The crowd seem to be enjoying McGee's choice of entrance music: Angel of Death. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
