Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between El Taquito Pantalones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anteaus Androler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pantalones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHU-AJTn0I8. Androler has chosen war is my destiny as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Anteaus Androler will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
