Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Tracy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Doby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tracy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Can Kiss My Irish Arse. Doby has chosen International Players Anthem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Shane Doby will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
