Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alonzo Diggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trouble Some (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diggs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Trick Daddy - In Da Wind. Some has chosen Von Hertzen Brothers - Coming Home as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
