Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeronimo Puno (ranked 21 p4p, 60 weight class) and Billy Bob Brown (ranked 4 p4p, 9 weight class). Puno's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, RAGS 2 RICHES. Billy Bob Brown told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
