Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mental Warrior (ranked 636 p4p, 704 weight class) and Dude McWrestler (ranked 93 p4p, 103 weight class). Warrior comes to the cage accompanied by Side to Side. McWrestler has chosen Lil Baby - On Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dude McWrestler 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!
