Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Lockley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phillip Anselmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lockley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Disney's Gummy Bears Intro (Rus). Anselmo has chosen HATEBREED-Everyone Bleeds Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Phillip Anselmo is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
