Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stanton Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard B Riddick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crowe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Builders & The Butchers - Bringing Home The Rain. Riddick comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Matt Redman - Blessed Be Your Name kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
