Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edward Wong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renato Sanches (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Legend of the USS Titanic. Sanches comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Breaking Benjamin - Ordinary Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Renato Sanches told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
