Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gareth Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yeovil Tiger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stemm - Face The Pain. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tiger's choice of entrance music: Delilah by Tom Jones. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
