Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Demarte Pena (ranked 4261 p4p, 204 weight class) and Pasti Eldos (ranked 3576 p4p, 172 weight class). Pena kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mesmo Assim. 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 Pasti Eldos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
