Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig David (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parts's entrance music is call to prayer. A fine choice. David is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Craig David - Rise and Fall. Craig David struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
