Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brick Top (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and R J MacReady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Top kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Killing in the name . 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 R J MacReady was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
