Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Pacman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Voices by Rev Theory. Pacman has chosen Bebot by Black Eyed Peas as his entrance music. Manny Pacman will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
