Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silik Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Papa Roach - Last Resort. Hunt has chosen London Calling as his entrance music. 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 Silik Hunt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
