Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Perrin Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Geronimo Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dog The Nine. Bones has chosen One by Metallica as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
