Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Filipo Lakopa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jules Winnfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lakopa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Armaggedon. Jules Winnfield will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
