Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pawel Skorzewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skorzewski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tubthumping. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Welcome to the Terrordome. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
