Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego James Ndui Gambitinoa Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). von Goethe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Ride of the Valkyries. Gambitinoa Jr has chosen Gorillaz - Feel Good Incorporated as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Diego James Ndui Gambitinoa Jr is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
