Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Danny Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Green comes into the arena with Miracle - We Ain't Scared blaring out of the sound system. Hopkins is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Cake - I will survive. 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 Henry Hopkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
