Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tom McGettigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGettigan's entrance music is Knifeman - The Bronx. A fine choice. Williams has chosen Big Bad Wolf by Duck Sauce 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.
