Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Duke Nukem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Boyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nukem kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meet the Monster by Five Finger Death Punch. Boyle has chosen Superman Theme as his entrance music. Duke Nukem had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
