Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between NumbaOne Stunna (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stunna kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bring The Pain. Stark has chosen Dance Hall Days as his entrance music. 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 Johnny Stark was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
