Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Alexio Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gay Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Notorious B.I.G - You're Nobody (till somebody kills you). Bomb comes into a darkened arena with his song building. It's Raining Men kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Gay Bomb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
