Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dick Head (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bio Hazzard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Head kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair. Hazzard has chosen Sweating Bullets as his entrance music. Bio Hazzard is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
