Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scot Goodbarrel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac - I'm a Soldier. Goodbarrel has chosen Deliver as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
