Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between He Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Patrick Bateman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, He-Man theme song. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bateman's choice of entrance music: Huey Lewis and The News - Hip to be Square. Patrick Bateman will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
