Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toby Kensmith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Louis Georgelin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kensmith's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ATB - Justify (Club Mix). Georgelin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Estiva - Strawberry fields (Original mix) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
