Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wiremu Huia (ranked 1498 p4p, 241 weight class) and Johann Kessler (ranked 1950 p4p, 299 weight class). Huia kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Poi E - Patea Maori Club. Kessler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Coal Chamber - Burgundy. Wiremu Huia is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
