Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ric Landeverde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ogg Nogg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landeverde's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. Nogg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pantera : 5 Minutes Alone. 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.
