Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frederick Fonglebang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Geronimo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fonglebang's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bidibodi Bidibu. Geronimo has chosen "War," by Edwin Starr as his entrance music. Don Geronimo is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
