Elsewhere on the card, Nick Campbell will take on Jay McFarlane for the vacant Scottish Area heavyweight title. This will be the first time in 71 years that this title will be contested for. Campbell has claimed that he will use both his size and his power to easily put away McFarlane, but we will see how the fight shapes out this weekend.
