Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Choi Yong Sool (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Slapper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yong Sool kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Yangyu Conspiracy. Slapper is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by beep beep i'm a jeep. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
