Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonid Guerra Salsido (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duke On Roids (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guerra Salsido kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cuba Anthem.

I can't wait to find out!
