Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Willie Bartmin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Butch Shorette (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bartmin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Shorette comes into a darkened arena with his song building. No New Friends kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Butch Shorette has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
