Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noel James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keith Urban - Stupid Boy. James is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Whats New pussy Cat by Tom Jones. 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.
