Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Cortez (ranked 5606 p4p, 681 weight class) and Estefan Sanchez (ranked 4569 p4p, 595 weight class). Cortez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wake Me Up. Sanchez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lil'Wayne - Right Above It feat. Drake. 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.
