Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Martin Riggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eugene Mean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Riggs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is U Can't Touch This by: MC Hammer. 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 Eugene Mean was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
