Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Popeye Mcgrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyndon Knowles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgrady kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. Knowles has chosen Enya - Boadicea (Hardstyle Remix) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
