Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Jakson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wilson Tuckey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jakson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Thriller. Tuckey has chosen Land Down Under - Men at Work as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wilson Tuckey has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
