Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Caiden Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mr Spartacus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Knockout. Spartacus is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Destroyer. This should be a great matchup!
