Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alec Dimanche (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stuey Ungar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dimanche kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 835 - SLAPDASH. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ungar's choice of entrance music: Paper Planes. Stuey Ungar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
