Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Krwawy Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rumina Sato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez's entrance music is DJ Kronic feat. Bombs Away - Looking For Some Girls. A fine choice. Sato is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Call to prayer of islam. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
