Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Aggravated JD (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnnie Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aggravated JD's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Who Dat. Walker comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rock you Like A Hurricane kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! John Aggravated JD had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Johnnie Walker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
