Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Omar Little (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Osiris Smalls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Little kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg - Murder was the Case. Smalls is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Biggie Smalls - Niggas Bleed. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
