Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Don Geronimo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Sotomayor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Geronimo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "War," by Edwin Starr. Sotomayor has chosen Enter Sandman - Metallica as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
