Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seigo Okazawa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohamed Ahmed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Okazawa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Monster. Ahmed has chosen Watch The Throne - Who Gon Stop Me as his entrance music. Mohamed Ahmed told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
