Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Biff Biffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blaze Hastings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Biffman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bike. Hastings comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blazin Hazen - Avarage Homeboy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
