Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Markku Alarinne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alvarez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raised Fist - Words and Phrases. The crowd seem to be enjoying Alarinne's choice of entrance music: Chiquita Ska Band - American Jesus. This should be a great matchup!
