Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luiz Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is KoRn En Vivo Mtv. Soto is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Busta Rhymes Feat Eminem - I'll Hurt You . Pablo Escobar could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Luiz Soto's chin.
