Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pit Canthropus Jr (ranked 2757 p4p, 300 weight class) and Willy Boly (ranked 22459 p4p, 682 weight class). Canthropus Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Austin Powers - Daddy Wasn't There. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Badou Baha (ranked 1724 p4p, 268 weight class) and Charlie Cross (ranked 3328 p4p, 462 weight class). Cross comes into a darkened arena with his song building. In My Feelings kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Charlie Cross was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
