|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between DeShaun Holton Jr (ranked 3138 p4p, 3018 weight class) and Cyrus Deangelo Queen (ranked 420 p4p, 407 weight class). Holton Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is D12 - Purple Hills. Queen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Go Hard. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
