Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buster Knott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kanye West vs. The xx - Touch The Sky (Carlos Serrano Mix) . I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Henry White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
