Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Digol Bick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bick's choice of entrance music: Dissection - Thorns of Crimson Death. Bick has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Andrew Anderson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
