Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Martin Morales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Hasselhoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morales kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ice ice baby. Morales is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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?
