Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between He Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man's entrance music is He-Man theme song. A fine choice. Price has chosen Heltah Skeltah - Gang's All Here as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Sean Price was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
