Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eliah Marshal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marshal comes into the arena with Straigh Outta Compton blaring out of the sound system. Zsasz has chosen 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
