Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Donny Knightley (ranked 1256 p4p, 1261 weight class) and Albert White (ranked 172 p4p, 173 weight class). Knightley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Some Bodies Gonna Get It ft. Three-Six Mafia. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
