Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Juan Jose Moreno Cuenca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ron Jeremy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moreno Cuenca comes to the cage accompanied by Yo, el vaquilla. Jeremy has chosen I'm sexy and I know it by LMFAO as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
