Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Smelly Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Putznaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Animal Crackers In My Soup by Sherly Temple. Putznaya has chosen Sex Pistols - Did You No Wrong as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Smelly Nelson has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
