Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Darius Badolato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Paxton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Badolato kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nneka - Heartbeat. The crowd seem to be enjoying Paxton's choice of entrance music: Advance Australia Fair. 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.
