Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karim Chamakh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Connor McManus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chamakh's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Robyn - Indestructible. McManus has chosen Jeff Danna - 'The Blood of Cú Chulainn' as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
