Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernesto Guevara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vlad Tepes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guevara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is What I've Done . Tepes has chosen Waste My Hate as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
