Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ceaser El Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amir Zuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). El Toro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bulls On Parade. 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 Amir Zuka was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
