Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Brockman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Spriggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brockman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Battery. Spriggins has chosen 'Detachable Penis' by King Missile as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Vincent Spriggins is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
