Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Cranzinski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Parts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cranzinski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Aenima. Parts is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: call to prayer. Peter Parts has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
