Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Craig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Maltive (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Craig kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Robot With Human Hair PT2 1/2. The crowd seem to be enjoying Maltive's choice of entrance music: Show Me What You Got. Jonny Craig has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
