Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Galt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Charyak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Galt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is State of the Union by Rise Against. Charyak has chosen Ni**as in Paris as his entrance music. John Galt could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Brad Charyak's chin.
