Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Rabago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remington Wyatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rabago kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Senses Fail - New Years Eve. 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.
