Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Bee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Webb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bee's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RUMBLE-BEE. Webb has chosen Hells Bells by AC/DC as his entrance music. Jimmy Webb 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!
