Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Devil Jho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kris Mahoney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jho's entrance music is Into the Abyss. A fine choice. Mahoney is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Still Alive. Devil Jho is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
