Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Hermann Hoppe (ranked 358 p4p, 551 weight class) and DeMario Valdez (ranked 44 p4p, 69 weight class). Hoppe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wind of Change. Valdez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Era - Ameno kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
