Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hazan Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Funktastic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ali's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, LL Cool J - Mama' Said Knock You Out. Mr Funktastic 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!
