Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Johnson (ranked 4479 p4p, 5765 weight class) and Boris Karloff (ranked 519 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm all about cool. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
