Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Dawkins (ranked 731 p4p, 888 weight class) and Jack Reaper (ranked 103 p4p, 125 weight class). Dawkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hawaii Five-O.
