Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ogg Nogg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Skyler Myles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nogg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pantera : 5 Minutes Alone. Myles is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Danger Zone. 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.
