Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaegerjaquez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "No More Sorrow" by Linkin Park (Grimmjow Edition). The crowd seem to be enjoying Dos Santos's choice of entrance music: Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
