Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rey Bautista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cj Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bautista kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Cj Becker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
