Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bomb Squad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taylor Norton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Squad kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tonal i know you goin duck me.. 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.
