Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Genaro Munoz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tane Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. it was over kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Thompson has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
