Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Soriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augusto Ricardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soriano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is "Filipino" by The Black Eyed Peas. Augusto Ricardo is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
