Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Osama Robins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pencil Neck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Strippekikk. Neck is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Welcome to the jungle. Pencil Neck will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
