Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Benjamin Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Lopez has chosen Vamos as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
