Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Soriano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez comes into the arena with Apeman blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Soriano's choice of entrance music: Bebot by The Black Eyed Peas. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
