Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Shamrock (ranked 135 p4p, 21 weight class) and Esteban San Pedro (ranked 188 p4p, 27 weight class). Shamrock kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is One Winged Angel by The Black Mages. San Pedro has chosen Gunman as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
