Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Clapper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Estefan Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clapper comes into the arena with Who Gon Stop Me blaring out of the sound system. Sanchez has chosen T.I.- F.A.M.E. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
