Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between William Lati (ranked 3000 p4p, 326 weight class) and Hughie McFee (ranked 3142 p4p, 341 weight class). Lati kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ye- Burna Boy. 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 Hughie McFee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
