Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Grayson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morrison kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alive. Grayson has chosen Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne 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.
