Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jose Alberto Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pep Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alberto Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Three 6 Mafia - It's a Fight. Hernandez has chosen Heart Vacnacy- the wanted as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
