Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mo Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jayson Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg - Who Am I. Rodriguez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 300 Violin Orchestra-Jorge Quintero. Jayson Rodriguez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
