Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Smoove Bee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Van Bone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't Get Enough of Your Love Baby. Van Bone has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
