Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Castillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drederick Tatum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castillo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chop Chop Master Onion. Drederick Tatum 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!
