Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Hornie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Compton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Compton has chosen Von Thronstahl - Adoration to Europa as his entrance music. Compton has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Roy Hornie has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
