Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Skinner Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Yauch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crowe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Angry Johnny & The Killbillies - A Love More True. Yauch is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: No Sleep Till Brooklyn. 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.
