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