Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mutant Chernobli (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theopolis Barrymore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chernobli kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slipknot-Waynd and Bleed. Barrymore has chosen The Thing That Should Not Be as his entrance music. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
