Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Francois Dubonet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Virgil Beck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dubonet kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kevin Chalfant - Hold on to the vision in your eyes. Beck comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Cell Therapy by Goodie Mob kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
