Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Christiano (ranked 364 p4p, 735 weight class) and Ronnie Bass (ranked 50 p4p, 103 weight class). Christiano kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jesus Built My Hotrod. Bass has chosen Even Flow as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
