Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Archie Stewart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lionel Cascara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stewart kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frightened Rabbit - The Twist. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lionel Cascara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
