Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Willy Wonka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russian Zombie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wonka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mr Rotten Treats - Insane Clown Posse. 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 Russian Zombie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
