Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Billy Marques (ranked 3856 p4p, 373 weight class) and Repa Tiitti (ranked 2058 p4p, 236 weight class). Marques kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raining Blood. Tiitti is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC Back in Black . Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
