Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Seamus Murphy (ranked 1043 p4p, 1045 weight class) and Kaiden Thibodeaux (ranked 61 p4p, 62 weight class).

Thibodeaux comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Luck of the Irish x John Lennon x Yoko Ono kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Kaiden Thibodeaux has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
