Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Macho Fantastico (ranked 1135 p4p, 3647 weight class) and Sigurd Ragnarsson (ranked 122 p4p, 359 weight class). Fantastico kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Macho.
