Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greger Svensson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanchez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sick Puppies-Youre going down. Svensson has chosen Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hugo Sanchez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
