Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lil Chieck Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike McCord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Congo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Check yourself F. Mir. McCord comes into a darkened arena with his song building. "Violate You"- Chino Xl 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.
