Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Semmy Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zirry Swan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rizzo comes to the cage accompanied by open road song. Swan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blame it on my ADD kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
