Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Venom Killer Jr (ranked 2045 p4p, 2937 weight class) and Fekkus Lasombra (ranked 315 p4p, 434 weight class). Killer Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Roy Jones - Can't be touched.
