Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ian Carter (ranked 199 p4p, 763 weight class) and Leroy Brewer (ranked 21 p4p, 98 weight class). Carter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is “Shipping up to Boston” Dropkick Murphy’s. Leroy Brewer 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!
