Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Aldo Barbados (ranked 1366 p4p, 136 weight class) and Andy Bogard (ranked 2496 p4p, 214 weight class). Barbados kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is What's It All For.
