Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frank Stein (ranked 195 p4p, 252 weight class) and Donald Trumpet (ranked 25 p4p, 28 weight class). Stein kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red - Falling Sky. Trumpet has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
