Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Steven Christie (ranked 1299 p4p, 2314 weight class) and Jack McScramble (ranked 150 p4p, 235 weight class). Christie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amityville. 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?
