Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Valondez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soto's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mexican Rap-Cypress Hill. Valondez has chosen Animal I Have Become-Three Days Grace as his entrance music. 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.
