Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Barbarino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Evans (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barbarino kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Barbarino song. Evans has chosen Emoyrean Mercenaries as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
