Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Murphy MacManus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Paddy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacManus comes to the cage accompanied by The Blood of Cu Chulainn . The crowd seem to be enjoying Paddy's choice of entrance music: The Battering Ram - Come Out & Fight. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
