Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ben Gordon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chras Watsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gordon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Parkway Drive - Frostbite. Ben Gordon is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
