Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Voll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Voll kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Monster Magnet - Powertrip . 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 Henry Washington was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
