Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bud Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy's entrance music is Big Balls . A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Connor's choice of entrance music: Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine by Ray Venture. 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.
