Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mickey McFinnigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blood Bane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McFinnigan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac – Cause I had to. Bane is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bad Blood. 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.
