Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Young (ranked 163 p4p, 467 weight class) and Jeremy Cross (ranked 11 p4p, 14 weight class). Young's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Real Ganja Man. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cross's choice of entrance music: Folk Metal. Fred Young had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
