Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Benjamin Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Safo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benjamin Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Beheaded in Paris by Cradled To Grave. The crowd seem to be enjoying Safo's choice of entrance music: Up Your Speed by Sway DaSafo. Benjamin Jr has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Thomas Benjamin Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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?
