Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Juan Jose Moreno Cuenca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fou Rthihovsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moreno Cuenca kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Yo, el vaquilla. Rthihovsky is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd. 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.

Sudo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Roy Jones - Can't Be Touched. Johnny Knox could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jumo Sudo's chin.
