Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seth Anson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timothy Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ''South of Heaven'' by The Electric Hellfire Club. Mcgee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. McGee kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Timothy Mcgee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
