Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fast Punch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Two (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Punch's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Prodigy - Hot Ride . Two has chosen North Korean Army Girls Just Want To Have Fun as his entrance music. Mark Two 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!
