Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy OLeary (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sutton Ripley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). OLeary comes to the cage accompanied by Metallica - Black Squirrel. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ripley's choice of entrance music: Danzig - Hand Of Doom. Billy OLeary looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
