Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tad Ghostal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angus Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ghostal's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Good King Wenceslas. Young has chosen AC/DC - Live Wire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
