Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renan Jones (ranked 6693 p4p, 615 weight class) and William Norman (ranked 5246 p4p, 579 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Legendary. The crowd seem to be enjoying Norman's choice of entrance music: B.I.G and Miley - Party and bulls**t in the USA. William Norman has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
