Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn McLean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Castillo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McLean kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Predict A Riot. Castillo has chosen Holy Key as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
