Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alex Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Montague Withnail (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hopkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coming home -Dirty money. The crowd seem to be enjoying Withnail's choice of entrance music: Charlie Kunz -My Friend. Alex Hopkins has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
