Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Lebowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buck Naked (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lebowski comes to the ring accompanied by Europe - The Final Countdown. Naked has chosen Let's Get It On as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
