Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chairman Mao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milo Kroton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mao kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is RENEGADE MASTER. Kroton has chosen Mastodon - Blood and Thunder as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Milo Kroton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
