Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Manson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Tauno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Helter Skelter. Tauno has chosen Pelican - Dead Between The Walls as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
