Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Jersey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antonio Santiago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santiago comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Asesinos - Los Crudos kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
