Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Takeru Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyle's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Like to Move It. Jones is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Pimp C. Skrypture, C$krilla ft. Bun B & The Isleys - One Day. James Jones 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!
