Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chase Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ooga Booga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Storm's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pantera (Walk). Booga has chosen The Invention of Music as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
