Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tonkei Oloishona (ranked 1862 p4p, 1705 weight class) and Ricky Rawse (ranked 18 p4p, 65 weight class). Oloishona kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Besomorph & N3WPORT ft. Lunis - Zombie (Rudelies Remix). Ricky Rawse told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
