Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Phil Sprintin (ranked 738 p4p, 611 weight class) and Zane Raven (ranked 74 p4p, 60 weight class). Sprintin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Disturbed - Bad Man. Raven comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 300 Violin Orchestra - Jorge Quintero kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Zane Raven 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!
