Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joe Reealopubo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron McGinnis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reealopubo comes to the cage accompanied by Chop Suey. McGinnis has chosen Star.One - Original Badman Feat. Takura & Assassin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Aaron McGinnis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
