David comes to the cage accompanied by Craig David - Rise and Fall. Terteryan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Röyksopp - The Fear . Craig David had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Craig David had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
