Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wrestlefuck Wrestling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ashton Eaton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eaton has chosen Eminem - Berzerk as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wrestlefuck Wrestling looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
