Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Bera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lou Meatstock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bera kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Parasite :D . The crowd seem to be enjoying Meatstock's choice of entrance music: Eminem - Not Afraid . 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 Lou Meatstock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
