Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Pendragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Heath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pendragon comes to the cage accompanied by Ghostface Killah - The Champ. Heath has chosen your goin down 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 Tyler Heath was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
