Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Virgil Keller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Zanotto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Keller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is War Music. Zanotto is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ben Zanotto -by- Rancid. Ben Zanotto 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!
