Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between How Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tristin Shonuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Long kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Anthem by Onra. Shonuck has chosen Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down as his entrance music. Tristin Shonuck has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
