Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Miguel Augusto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Augusto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Reset the Future-Mind Flow/. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bishop's choice of entrance music: teenagers. Walter Bishop is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
