Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Van Beethoven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Power Ranger Red (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Beethoven kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beethoven-Symphony 7. Red has chosen Click Click Boom! - Saliva as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wolfgang Van Beethoven has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
