Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick Bateman (ranked 1136 p4p, 145 weight class) and Saul Tigh (ranked 988 p4p, 117 weight class). Bateman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Huey Lewis and The News - Hip To Be Square. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
