Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Morrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clyde Irving (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 Metalingus. Irving is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Am Perfection. Clyde Irving told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
