Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yan Ti San (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Papa Said Tap Him Out (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). San kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Brainfreeze (part 1) - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tap Him Out's choice of entrance music: It's Time For War by LL Cool J. Yan Ti San had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
