I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jose Luis Cantero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Pierre Babin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cantero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is La mandanga. Babin has chosen South Park - Let's Fighting Love as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
