Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rex Tyler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Meat Loaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyler's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Solonen ja Kosola - RÄPPII . Loaf has chosen Eat My Loaf as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
