Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alvaro Salazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Auron Almasy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Salazar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Don Omar ft Tego Calderon - Bandolero. The crowd seem to be enjoying Almasy's choice of entrance music: Ram Jam - Black Betty. 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.
