Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Howard Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hezekiah Stoltfus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Heartbeats. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stoltfus's choice of entrance music: The Chase. Howard Moon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
