Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robert Nicholas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Master Chuin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chuin has chosen Remo WIlliams Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chuin has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
