Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Connaw McGregaw (ranked 3359 p4p, 293 weight class) and Watin Qary (ranked 7458 p4p, 450 weight class). McGregaw kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Foggy Dew. 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 Watin Qary was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
