Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dean Corll (ranked 725 p4p, 89 weight class) and Castor Rollins (ranked 871 p4p, 101 weight class). Corll kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Candyman. Rollins has chosen Ulfheonar as his entrance music. 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 Castor Rollins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
