Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Santa Schwein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Rosario (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Rosario's choice of entrance music: "Ain't Goin' Out Like That" by Cypress Hill. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
