Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lupe Fiasco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Ellenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fiasco kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Show Goes On. Ellenberger comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Guano Apes - Open Your Eyes kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
