Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Stenson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scott Watt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stenson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Young Jeezy - I'm Here. Watt has chosen Edmund Fitzgerald as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Scott Watt will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
