Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lester Green (ranked 8 p4p, 17 weight class) and Charles Eric Cheese (ranked 2 p4p, 3 weight class). Green kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This Is Beetle. Cheese has chosen The Midnight NAMBLA as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
