Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Elorde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Muhammed Brishnich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Elorde kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beep! Beep!. Brishnich has chosen Bullsonparade as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Muhammed Brishnich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
