Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 536 p4p, 468 weight class) and Tommy Weismuller (ranked 79 p4p, 71 weight class). McGuire comes into the arena with Confederate Railroad - Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind blaring out of the sound system. Weismuller has chosen The Nosebleed Section by Hilltop Hoods 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.
