Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Newton (ranked 2815 p4p, 318 weight class) and Conor Daley (ranked 4899 p4p, 461 weight class). Newton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Guillotine. Daley comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dropkick Murphy's - Shipping Up To Boston kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
