Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Starker (ranked 1799 p4p, 82 weight class) and Dwayne Boskins (ranked 2014 p4p, 85 weight class). Starker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Catrin O'Neill - Ar Lan Y Mor. 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.
