Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Luigi Bonifacio (ranked 623 p4p, 1397 weight class) and Sao Alela (ranked 95 p4p, 184 weight class). Bonifacio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Karate - Kennedy.
