Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lemmy MacLean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacLean kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Another One Bites The Dust. Hammer has chosen Nine Inch Nails - Wish as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
