Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Spartacus Thracian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thracian kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I am Spartacus!!! I stand alone . Chong has chosen I SHOT THE SHERIFF as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
