Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick East (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). East kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Hip Hop-Dead Prez. 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 John Carter was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
