Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ed Gennero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malik Al-Khaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gennero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wally's Pep Talk. The crowd seem to be enjoying Al-Khaldi's choice of entrance music: Razihel - Legends (feat. TeamMate) (Trident Edit). Ed Gennero is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
