Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Demetriou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pee Wee Herman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demetriou kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Ocean Avenue. Herman has chosen I Jerk Off In Theatres as his entrance music. Demetriou has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Pee Wee Herman has the eye of the tiger tonight.
