Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bubba McFly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ara Vahaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McFly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - All Nightmare Long. Vahaber has chosen Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still Dre as his entrance music. Ara Vahaber will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
