Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brad Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Mourke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Barnes has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Ricky Mourke will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
