Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Darren Elkins (ranked 4249 p4p, 2869 weight class) and Saurabh Pandeya (ranked 451 p4p, 354 weight class). Elkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Central Cee - Loading. Pandeya comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Clan In Da Front kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Darren Elkins has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
