Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hernandez Morales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Stryker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morales kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Desaparecido. Stryker has chosen Die Motherfucker Die as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
