Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derfel Cadarn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lexington Snape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cadarn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Saxon. Snape has chosen DJ Tiësto - Carmina Burana: Remixed as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Derfel Cadarn has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
