Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Wilkinson (ranked 2253 p4p, 3544 weight class) and Thomas Forrester Jr (ranked 331 p4p, 475 weight class). Wilkinson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Who - Eminence front. Thomas Forrester Jr told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
