Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jai Setright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Setright kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Dagger. Brandao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Work Hard, Play Hard. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Uebishe Lesnoe seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
