Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Byron Banky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Langler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Holy Diver-Dio. Byron Banky looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
