Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wally Wechsel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Blunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wechsel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Faith No More - The Morning After. Blunt has chosen Danzig - Mother as his entrance music. 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.
