Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tevita Maui (ranked 238 p4p, 153 weight class) and Stres Fleshou Jr (ranked 16 p4p, 12 weight class). Maui kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Turn Down For What. Fleshou Jr has chosen Ace Of Spades- Motorhead as his entrance music. Tevita Maui has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
