Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Bolt (ranked 5245 p4p, 479 weight class) and Manny Johnson (ranked 1368 p4p, 185 weight class). Bolt's entrance music is We are the Champions . A fine choice. Johnson has chosen On The Run Jompson Brothers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Manny Johnson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
