Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Morgan (ranked 140 p4p, 197 weight class) and Captain Gonza (ranked 20 p4p, 27 weight class). Morgan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Battle Cry. Gonza has chosen Many Men as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
