Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Monkeys of War. Lopez is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Vamos. Tiger Lee is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
