Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marco Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson has chosen Simon Says as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marco Sanchez looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
