Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jessy Dentler (ranked 1682 p4p, 2546 weight class) and King Kong (ranked 193 p4p, 269 weight class). Dentler's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie. Kong comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Moviendo las Caderas kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 King Kong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alborz Mumu (ranked 100 p4p, 231 weight class) and Justin Bennett (ranked 13 p4p, 40 weight class). 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 Justin Bennett was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
