Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Seamus OShaughnessy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clockwork Abercrombie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OShaughnessy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Friday Rule by Flogging Molly. Abercrombie has chosen In This City- Iglu & Hartly as his entrance music. Clockwork Abercrombie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
