Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Keast Kanne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Henson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kanne's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Snow - Informer. Henson has chosen Hit the Lights by Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mickey Henson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
