Greywar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Written in the stars. Blast has chosen Goldfinger - Superman as his entrance music. River Greywar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.1lbs, 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'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 Tim Blast was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rob Adam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Yankee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Grateful Deads- Truckin'. 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 Jim Yankee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
