Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Siouxsie Banshees (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gristle McThornbody (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banshees kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cities in Dust. McThornbody has chosen Tame as his entrance music. Gristle McThornbody 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!
