Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Gregory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Onanias Runkman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregory's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Chumbawamba - English Rebel Songs. The crowd seem to be enjoying Runkman's choice of entrance music: Anderson Silva DANCING Justin Bieber SONG. 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.
