Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fredrik White (ranked 344 p4p, 525 weight class) and Leonardo Pancho Garcia (ranked 53 p4p, 75 weight class). White kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone. Garcia has chosen Thors Hammer - Mexico as his entrance music. Fredrik White has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
