Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Desmond Devereau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phillip Barron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Devereau kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Sans Pression-Territoire Hostile. Barron has chosen Dizzee Rascal - Bonkers as his entrance music. Desmond Devereau had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
