Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Corey Birthday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joni Betoni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Birthday kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Happy Birthday Mr President. Betoni comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Vinnie Paz - Brick Wall kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Joni Betoni 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!
