Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andre Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ambitionz Az A Ridah. Montana has chosen Glass Joe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Joe Montana is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
