Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Scott Levy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Jabroni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Levy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ozzy Osbourne - mr.Crowley. Jabroni comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Whatever kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
