Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bill Hicks (ranked 2942 p4p, 322 weight class) and Dagon Saouza (ranked 3438 p4p, 355 weight class). Hicks kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bill Hicks at Dangerfields. Saouza has chosen Kodak Black - as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Dagon Saouza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
