Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Muay Plata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tron Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Plata kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Creeping Death. Jones is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Angry Tronny. Tron Jones 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!
