Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tron Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kwame Moto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's entrance music is Angry Tronny. A fine choice. Moto has chosen Tupac_Hit em' up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
