Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Apollo Reid (ranked 978 p4p, 130 weight class) and Big Asznee (ranked 1668 p4p, 223 weight class). Reid kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Living in America by James Brown. Asznee has chosen The Game as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
