Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Del Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ty Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gin and Juice. Law has chosen Hate Me Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The key to victory for Del Thompson has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
