Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kent Wilkinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glass Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilkinson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hugh and Lisa!. Penn has chosen Morbid Anal Fog - Euronymous Sold Varg A Bunk Eighth as his entrance music. Kent Wilkinson has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
