Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Trent Waves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Waves kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ScHoolboy Q - Groovy Tony. Bishop is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Skepta - Man. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
