Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tristan West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lord Set (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). West's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bulls on Parade. Tristan West looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
