Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taj al Din (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think al Din might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to MARI-WANA. Santiago comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rick Ross - Superhigh kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
