Francois Duvalier told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richie O Grady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monty Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Grady kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is (no) Self Esteem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Brown's choice of entrance music: Monster by Skillet. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
