Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Zoidberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nancy Botwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Botwin has chosen Little Boxes On The Hillside as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
