Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anton Antorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antorio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Stand Alone. Martin has chosen Freude schöner Götter Funken as his entrance music. Peter Martin 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!
