Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rudi Guns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and El Chihuahua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guns kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kwan - Shine . Chihuahua has chosen Cypress Hill - Rise Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
