Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charles Martel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Bunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martel's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dreams - The Game. Bunn has chosen Go to Sleep - Eminem as his entrance music. Gary Bunn told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
