Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Florian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar's entrance music is Warning by The Notrious BIG. A fine choice. Florian is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Dean Martin - Ain´t that a kick in the head. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
