Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eduardo Rose (ranked 3920 p4p, 3051 weight class) and Graham Grant (ranked 384 p4p, 320 weight class). Rose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, God safe the king. Grant is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Till I Die by MGK. Graham Grant has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
