Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ray Ruthlessness (ranked 1870 p4p, 1720 weight class) and Mitsu Misawa (ranked 257 p4p, 233 weight class). Ruthlessness kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meek Mill - Going Bad (feat. Drake). Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
