Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Bonjesky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monte Christo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bonjesky's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Liam Machin is a bitch . Christo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Walk this way - Run DMC & Aerosmith. Monte Christo told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
