Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shael Connen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Connen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is If You're Gonna Be Dumb You Gotta Be Tough. Gunn has chosen N.W.O.-Ministry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
