Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mister Spock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cross's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The American Dream Song. Spock has chosen Rolling Stones- 2,000 Light Years From Home as his entrance music. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
