Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Peters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JC Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Peters kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Sid Vicious - My Way. Smith has chosen Black Hole Sun as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
