Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Damion Skye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Develen Elvington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skye kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Gonna Stop - Rob Zombie. Develen Elvington told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
