Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antoine Randall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Jaques Laroque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Randall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is You Don't Know-50 Cent, Eminem. Laroque has chosen Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
