Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damo Bodhidharma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Callum Tweedie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bodhidharma's entrance music is Houzan Yamamoto - Little Green Apple. A fine choice. Tweedie has chosen Snow Patrol - Chocolate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Callum Tweedie told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
