Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sean Cotes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cotes's entrance music is Victory. A fine choice. Ramirez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Disposable Heroes kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Tony Ramirez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
