Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Santana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ric Flores (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santana kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Check My Swag. Flores is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. 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.
