Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lee Trevino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trevino kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rowdy Rebel feat. Bobby Shmurda and Too $hort - She All About The Shmoney. Speed has chosen Limp Bizkit / Break Stuff as his entrance music. 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.
