This is great for the metal heads out here (whoo hoo...Mega Deth fan since 1988's So Far, So Good...So What), but for the guys who like any other kind of music, this is not so good. I would HATE it if they had some rap group out there between fights.

The three previous releases, not so much.

As for rap... if they'd throw some Snoop, and Dr. Dre in there, I'd probably be alright with that too.
In the end, music acts during MMA events are probably always gonna piss people off. Maybe it's best to keep it to the walk in songs.
