Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Georges St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Squirtle Blastoise (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Pierre's entrance music is Ca Fait Mal. A fine choice. Blastoise has chosen The Rolling Stones: Sympathy For The Devil as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Georges St Pierre is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
