Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Richard Pleaser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and River Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pleaser kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Brainpool - We Aim to Please. Greywar has chosen "Stick 'em Up!" - Quarashi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
