Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Benny Alison (ranked 1659 p4p, 166 weight class) and Bruno Faze (ranked 2973 p4p, 305 weight class). Alison kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Greatest (I am). Faze has chosen Ride on these MOTHA fuckas-by 2PAC as his entrance music. The key to victory for Benny Alison has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
