Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lance Hardwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leeroy Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardwood's entrance music is Stone Sour - Last Of The Real. A fine choice. Jenkins has chosen Rock On as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
