Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rick Sampson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sampson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Off the Chain" by Serg Salinas. Graves has chosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7p9JbEP600 as his entrance music. Jimmy Graves will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
