Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Trombone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry Glover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trombone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Back in Black by AC/DC. 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.
