Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tom Nich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Harper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nich kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Boom Boom Pow. Stephen Harper 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!
