Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dick Dingleberry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kiyoshi Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dingleberry's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, PANTERA - F*CKING HOSTILE. Matsumoto has chosen Carl Douglas - Kung fu fighting as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
