Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roman Marecki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marecki's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Shadows - Apache. The crowd seem to be enjoying Baker's choice of entrance music: Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand. Chris Baker 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!
