Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Noel Contemprato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Unbreakable (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Contemprato kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cats. Unbreakable comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Busta and Yelawolf - Break Ya Neck kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jon Unbreakable was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
