Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Chaplin (ranked 472 p4p, 411 weight class) and Jason Stackhouse (ranked 58 p4p, 47 weight class). Chaplin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Champion - Charlie Chaplin. Stackhouse has chosen True Blood as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
