Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Panda Aorigele (ranked 1329 p4p, 1083 weight class) and Hero Primo (ranked 84 p4p, 66 weight class). Aorigele kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mama Said Knock You Out. Primo has chosen Returns a King as his entrance music. Hero Primo 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!
