Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Klay Dee (ranked 2758 p4p, 266 weight class) and Rick Rude (ranked 5690 p4p, 447 weight class). Dee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tyler, The Creator - Who Dat Boy. Rude has chosen Beautiful people-by MARILYN MANSON as his entrance music. 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.
