Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iain Reilly (ranked 1634 p4p, 240 weight class) and Hughtavious Mingo (ranked 2435 p4p, 338 weight class). Reilly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dubliners - Fields of Athenry.
