Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Craig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Power's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mr. Roboto. 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 Jonny Craig was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Crewe has chosen The Longest Yard as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
