Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mental Warrior (ranked 1596 p4p, 2210 weight class) and Mason Oakley (ranked 242 p4p, 315 weight class). Warrior kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Side to Side. Oakley comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bring Me Back To Life kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Mason Oakley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
