Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alejandro de le Fe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlito Montoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think de le Fe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Yello - Oh Yeah. The crowd seem to be enjoying Montoya's choice of entrance music: call to prayer. Alejandro de le Fe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
