Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cameron Poe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axl Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is How it is done. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rose's choice of entrance music: You Could Be Mine. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
