Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between David King (ranked 2382 p4p, 2392 weight class) and Joey Hernandez (ranked 250 p4p, 252 weight class). King's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Manchester United Chants George Best Song Spirit In The Sky. Hernandez has chosen I’m Back as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Joey Hernandez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
