Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pain Peters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wendell Diefendorf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Peters kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BringThe Pain. Diefendorf has chosen Go Go Gadget Gospel as his entrance music. 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 Wendell Diefendorf was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
