Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gillechriosd McCoy (ranked 267 p4p, 579 weight class) and Miles O Brien (ranked 33 p4p, 67 weight class). McCoy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, YxngB - The Irish. O Brien has chosen Sweet Leaf as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gillechriosd McCoy could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Miles O Brien's chin.
