Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bingo Star (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lester Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Star's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Octopus's garden. Star has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
