Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chino Bandito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alpha Male (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bandito comes to the cage accompanied by Slayer -- South of Heaven. Male is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rooster. 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.
