Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dexter Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexandre Thibeault (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morgan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Johnny Cash - Hurt. Thibeault has chosen Fort Minor - Remember the name as his entrance music. Dexter Morgan is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
