Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonathan Heymen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Wood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heymen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Straight Outta Compton- NWA. 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 Rob Wood was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
