Shelby kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Peeky Blinder Anthem. Bisping comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blues Saraceno - Evil Ways kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
