Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fresh Hamz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Swag In A Bag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Tupac - Me Against The World. Bag has chosen American bad ass as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Swag In A Bag has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
