Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tad Ghostal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JP Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ghostal kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Good King Wenceslas. Greywar has chosen I'm a Catholic girl... as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tad Ghostal is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
