Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Dixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santos's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Conteo. Dixon has chosen It's A Fight by Three 6 Mafia as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mason Dixon will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
