DJ blaring out of the sound system. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ole NKone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rasul Mirzaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lou Nahtic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mirzaev kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Natalie La Rose - Somebody ft. Jeremih. Nahtic has chosen Sleeping My Day Away as his entrance music. 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.
