Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Raja Barat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Simeon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barat kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Goyang Dumang. 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 James Simeon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
